My son was just beginning to crawl and at the time, our sofa was one that had a bowed back so there was room for him to crawl behind it. Evidently our little dog had also been back there and had chewed through the lamp cord so some of the wiring was exposed (we had no idea). One night when the lamp is on, I was across the room and hear my son crying and see the lamps light flickering and for the life of me I cannot figure out where he was at first. Turns out he was crawling behind the sofa and ended up touching the exposed wire and he had gotten shocked which caused the bulb to flicker. We either or replaced that lamp very quickly !
